Also remember that you are now mommy  a kitten usually will not seperate itself from who it sees as mommy. (You said that it was old enough to leave the mother but I doubt it.. they take kittens from the mothers WAY too early..
the more you rest and relax, the more the kitten will. Try to have the food close to you when you do curl up on the couch.. it will be a natural progression..
and good luck
